Locating persons of interest based on license plate recognition information

摘要

Possible locations of a person of interest are ranked based on LPR instances captured around physical locations and license plate numbers associated with the person of interest. An LPR instance includes an indication of a vehicle license plate number, a physical location, and a time when the LPR instance was captured by a LPR system. A possible location of the person of interest may be a location of an LPR instance that matches the license plate number or an address location associated with the person of interest. The ranking may be based on the number of LPR visits to each location, the number of license plate number matches at each location, or an attribute of a cluster of LPR instances. In some examples, an electronic message is rapidly communicated to an entity if a target license plate number is found at a highly ranked location.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving an indication of a license plate number of a vehicle associated with a person of interest onto a computing system including a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing an amount of program code that when executed by the processor is for: determining a plurality of License Plate Recognition (LPR) instances recognized within a search zone around any of a plurality of possible locations of the person of interest, wherein a possible location of the person of interest includes any of a location of an LPR instance that matches the license plate number and an address location associated with the person of interest; determining a number of LPR visits associated with each possible location of the person of interest; determining a time of day associated with each of the number of LPR visits associated with a possible location of the person of interest; identifying a property type of the possible location based at least in part on the time of day associated with each of the number of LPR visits associated with the possible location and the number of LPR instances scanned in each of the number of LPR visits; and ranking the plurality of possible locations of the person of interest based at least in part on a plurality of LPR instances that match the license plate number and the number of LPR visits to each location.
